Well SATA harddisks have been out a while and work. SATA optical drives
are new (the PX712SA was probably the first and was VERY hard to even
find outside Japan.)

Well it might, I never tried that. I do know that I couldn't get the CD
to work on 2.6.11 debian kernel on a Dell laptop running in the @#$@#$
combined mode on an intel ICH controller and of course dell won't make a
bios you can switch to native mode since then they would have to answer
people's dumb questions about how to install XP without a floppy to load
the SATA driver. :(

SCSI? I imagine if it detects it, it will just do the right thing, and
it if doesn't you will have to give it a clue as to which driver to load
to run that controller (assuming linux support exists for it).
